The Public Prosecutor’s Office informed that the detainees were transporting three kilos of liquid cocaine in a vessel bound for another Central American country.

The two citizens were located by a patrol boat of the National Air and Naval Service (SENAN), which found the vessel drifting near Punta Mala, in which 295,000 dollars were also seized, presumably part of the payment for transporting the drugs.

The report stated that the vessel was transporting the drugs from Colombia. After suffering a technical malfunction, the current swept it away.

SENAN agents indicated that the liquid cocaine is being distributed by the Clan del Golfo criminal gang, hidden with other cargo to evade surveillance.
